It is not a "sad" thing in reality, it is something normal, I also speak Spanish and that difference is what gives richness to our language, for example it would be boring if everyone in Latin America spoke like in Spain, besides that is almost impossible because languages always end up creating new words from the situations their speakers experience

thank you for your unbiased and thorough analysis!!

[@uu4700]

3:35 ~ 3:40 the reason isn’t that simple. If timezones are applyed correctly to each country, 12 o’clock should be the time when the sunlight perpendiculary meets the surface area your country is on. To put it easier, at 12 PM the sun should be directly above your head. For political & historical reasons, South Korea(seoul) follows Japan(tokyo)’s timezone. But as you can see on the map, seoul is further west to tokyo. Because of that, the sun doesn’t meet the land perpendiculary at 12 in seoul. It actually does at 12:30PM. So South Korea uses a timezone that is 30 minutes earlier than what is should be. North korea is actually using a ‘correct’ timezone. P.S (edit) - north korea now uses the same timezone as south korea

[@o.h.6946]

We do a similar thing here in the state of South Australia, where the time zone is UTC+9:30, due to the capital city Adelaide being closer to the eastern border with New South Wales and Victoria.

Correction: China also calls "Sea of Japan" but not "East Sea." In China, "East Sea" refers to East China Sea, the sea between Jeju Island, Ryukyu Island and the East Coast of China. As far as I know, North Korea will call the East China Sea to "South Sea".

[@oxcaxx]

tomohiro sou Source?

[@byc6230]

I'm Chinese and I confirm that, so I guess I'm the 'Source'.

[@tomohirosou6093]

I'm not sure Wikipedia can be a strong source or not. But here's the link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Japan. On the right side it labels the Chinese name of "Sea of Japan", literally means sea of Japan, the characters very different from Korean Hanja. You can use a translate tool to confirm that. What's more, just use common sense to think about that: It's very wired for Chinese do not call East China Sea as "East Sea", but call a sea on the east side of Korean Peninsula as "East Sea".

[@АпокалипсеДостое́вский]

Tf

[@kennycai8695]

Of course, it also depends on whether if China is being chummy with Japan or not. If ties are strained, you can bet China will say "East Sea" to stoke nationalist tensions, but if things are cool, China more or less will just let the issue slide.
